Arab sources: A major military surprise is close. Galant scandal a smokescreen
DEBKAfile ^ | August 20, 2010, 1:04 PM | DEBKAfile Special Report

Posted on 08/20/2010 10:46:26 AM PDT by DelaWhere

War preparations are reported by debkafile's military sources in Tehran and Damascus, debkafile's military sources report. In Tehran, Iran's Revolutionary Guards announced Friday, Aug. 20: "IRGC is in full readiness to encounter firmly with the stupidity of the US and the Zionist regime."

In Damascus, Syrian prime minister Naji al-Otari gathered his ministers and heads of security and emergency services Thursday and ordered them to place all their services on immediate war readiness. And sources close to the Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas quoted him as saying that direct talks with Israel were not in the offing because "a big military surprise awaits the Middle East."

"Yet not a word was heard in Israel - either from official sources or by media commentators - in advance of the ceremony inaugurating the Russian-built Bushehr reactor Saturday. All their efforts were bent on untangling the Galant affair and coping with its fallout. No wonder Iran, Syria, Hizballah and the Palestinians refused to believe this obsession could be so all-consuming and treated it as a red herring for deceiving them."

This war readiness report is alarming even by Debka standards. I don’t discount it totally.

Are you serious? Those knotheads will do anything to blow up anybody’s “Peace Process” so they can get right back to hating each other... It’s a way of life, so to speak, even though it’s actually a way of death!!!

(1) “As of today, there no longer exists an international emergency force to protect Israel. We shall exercise patience no more. We shall not complain any more to the UN about Israel. The sole method we shall apply against Israel is total war, which will result in the extermination of Zionist existence.”

“Our basic objective will be the destruction of Israel. The Arab people want to fight,” “We will not accept any...coexistence with Israel...Today the issue is not the establishment of peace between the Arab states and Israel....The war with Israel was in effect since 1948.”

(2) “The existence of Israel is an error which must be rectified. This is our opportunity to wipe out the ignominy which has been with us since 1948. Our goal is clear-to wipe Israel off the map.”

(3) “Our forces are now entirely ready not only to repulse the aggression, but to initiate the act of “liquidation” itself, and to explode the Zionist presence in Israel. The Syrian army, with its finger on the trigger, is united....I, as a military man, believe that the time has come to enter into a battle of annihilation.”

(4) It is the duty of us now to move from defensive positions to offensive positions and enter the battle to liberate the usurped land…Everyone must face the test and enter the battle to the end.”

“We want a full scale, popular war of liberation… to destroy the Zionist enemy.”

(5) “Those [Jews] who survive will remain in Palestine. I estimate that none of them will survive.”

(6) “The first priority of the Arabs is the extermination of Israel.”

THE MORE THINGS CHANGE

(1)Egyptian President Nasser
(2)Iraqi President, Abdur Rahman Aref
(3)Syrian Defense Minister, Hafez Assad
(4)Syrian President, Nureddin al-Attasi
(5)Palestinian Authority Chairman, Ahmed Shukairy
(6)King Feisal of Saudi Arabia

All pre the 1967 war.

You know that war, the results of which the Arabs cry about to this day and for which is Israel is blamed for the “occupation”.

Just saw Hilary and George mitchell announcing direct talks between Bibi and Abbas along with Egypt and Jordan to take place soon in DC.

While I trust the national Enquirer more than I do Debka I will say that neither Hillary nor Mitchel looked very happy while making this announcement...in fact both seemed rather grim.

The tragic assault by Israeli forces during the Six Day War in 1967 on an American vessel, the USS Liberty, has been a source of controversy and conspiracy theories since it occurred. Several government investigations have concluded that the attack, in which 34 American servicemen were killed and many more injured, was carried out in error. Furthermore, every piece of information declassified to date - most recently in June 2004 - has supported this conclusion.

Much of this information is available to anyone with an Internet connection.

Americans at the time believed it was an accident.
Americans were going to Israel to provide medical support.

Would this be the same "surprise" that has been predicted every 15 minutes for the last year?
